Every minute, one garbage truck of plastic enters the world’s oceans. That is more than eight million tons in one year. As plastic takes centuries to break down, there is an urgent need to address the environmental disaster now poisoning our oceans.

To raise awareness and help educate the public, I am launching ReVision The Art of Recycling - a non-profit society of artists dedicated to saving our environment. ReVision artists create amazing artwork by upcycling waste materials and discarded objects.

This year’s ReVision show on Granville Island kicks off with a reception at Granville Island Gelato and Coffee House, Thursday August 9 from 7 to 10 pm. Come on down for ice cream and coffee, and meet the eleven ReVision artists exhibiting sculptures in the Creekhouse area courtyard, passageways and shop windows.
